    strange how no one has suggested to recock and fire again with a hangfire....easy to do with SMLE or external hammer and not possible with a mauser....
    if using factory ammo which NORMALLY comes in either 150 or 180 grn you will find your rifle likes one weight way more than the other,another thing to keep in mind the rear locking actions often/usually shoot different ammo to different points of impact.... NOT a good rifle to mix and match ammo with.
    40mm and Cordite like this.
